Dec 2014

Even after I took on this crazy job that Jason Bourne would have turned down due to excessive travel and long hours, I never stopped taking time out to play music. I have had the privilege of playing for presidents (Ford and Clinton) and jamming with fellow guitarist Howard Dean late into the night playing Leo Kottke's 12 string guitar tunes. Only amputation at the wrist could ever take that away from me.
